Comment: My friend, aged 94 now, had a complete change of personality within a week due to this drug. We can now talk to her without the anxiety and rage she had before, although her memory hasn't improved, not that we expected it to at this point.

Comment:In combination with Razadyne, our mother has taken Namenda for over 2 years. It affects her behavior and anxiety so significantly that we can tell within an hour if she has missed a dose. No, it does not improve memory function or fully bring back the mother we knew, but she is more accepting and MUCH less stressed when she is taking it. REcently some ill-advised "professionals" took her off of these drugs for 4 days...she had to be placed on continuous hospice because her anxiety was affecting her heart function. Within 45 minutes of returning the meds to her, she was fully participating in her group home activities and feeding herself. Her attending nurse was amazed! We weren't.Hide Full Comment
